Visitation will be from 11:00 a.m. until the time of service at 1:00 p.m. Higgins Funeral Home will be in charge of services. His devotion to his family and his firm belief in Jesus Christ supported him in his struggle and ultimately gave him peace.
Bill was born to the late, Alvie Darius Bogle and Mary Edith Umbarger, in Manchester, TN on September 7th, 1944. He was raised in a Christian home that would be a lifelong support from an early age. He graduated from Coffee County High School in Manchester, TN.
Bill was blessed with a large and loving family. He married his best friend, Martha Jane Dollar, on September 8th, 1970, in Crown Point, Indiana. Bill helped raise his seven children. He had a love for cooking, sports and could sell anything. He held numerous jobs, always climbing to the top in sales. He also was known as “Santa Claus” to many in his community for several years. He is dearly missed by his loved ones, who celebrate the fact that he is at peace and with his Savior where they know they will see him again someday.
